  1. NIMBYs will use this as yet another justification why there shouldn’t be a new train line through middle-class parts of the country.

  2. Bring it to the ground level and out of the way or bury it.
    In Modena a whole roman cemetery, road and buildings’ foundations were found while digging for an underground car park. Now you can appreciate the findings at the street level as a tourist attraction.

  3. This is a mile from my house, I’m a bit of a history geek and to think I’ve been running and walking over this for years is really bizarre.

    Very excited to see the full details when it comes out.

  4. Question – if this was on your land, but there was a compulsory purchase order on that land for HS2 and you agreed, but then they found this and say, loads of gold Roman era coins that were worth WAY more than you took for the land, could you lay claim to the “treasure” as it were?
